JFed Security
A Commitment to Community Security
A rise in antisemitism and hate speech has increased drastically over the last several years, particularly since October 2023. The Jewish Federation of Southern New Jersey is dedicated to ensuring South Jersey is a place for Jews to live safely and proudly, particularly at the Jewish Federation campus and properties, agencies, area synagogues and Jewish day schools.
JFed Security, an agency of the Jewish Federation of Southern New Jersey, was established in 2021. JFed Security is an initiative designed to ensure the safety of our local Jewish communities and supports our Jewish community’s security needs in our Federation’s coverage area of Camden, Burlington and Gloucester counties, as well as eight additional counties in New Jersey and the entire state of Delaware.
JFed Security is proud to partner with:
Jewish Federation of Atlantic and Cape May Counties
Jewish Federation of Cumberland and Salem Counties
Jewish Federation of Princeton Mercer Bucks
Jewish Federation of Ocean County
Jewish Federation of West Central New Jersey
Jewish Federation of Delaware
JFed Security offers the following trainings and opportunities to participating communities:

Using Our Security Services
The JFed Security team is comprised of a highly trained full-time professional team and is supported by over 50 part-time armed security guards, who are all retired law enforcement officers. Our team constantly monitors open-source information to keep a careful eye on extremist rhetoric and activity, anti-Israel or antisemitic rhetoric or ideologies, social media commentary and suspicious activity or behavior.
We are stronger together, and JFed Security is committed to ensuring our community’s safety. You can report a threat, incident or suspicious activity related to our Jewish organizations, facilities or community members through our Incident Report Form.
